So what do you think happened over the last few weeks? Is it the player or the coaches who made some radical change to take a guy from being so bad he wasn't allowed on the field after an injury to he's now playing tackle and the Ben had the most time to throw of any of the 6 games and it's not even close.

I'm glad be beat expectations and hope it continues but there's something awfully odd with this situation.

One thing that makes it hard for me to know how this question should be answered is ... how good (or pitiful?) is the Ravens D-line? Including the LBs and safeties, how good (or pitiful?) is their ability to pressure/sack/get to the QB?

If they suck, then our performance definitely needs to be put in perspective. Unfortunately, at least for me, it seems questions like these are much easier to answer at the end of a season than towards the beginning, or even at the start of the 2nd qrtr.

Coming into the game, the Ravens were tied for 1st (with KC) in red zone Defense.

hmm.. Suggs, Dumervile...

even a banged up Ngata is still a top tier nose tackle. I think they are (at minimum) an above average front. I just think the Steelers OL "SHOCKED THE WORLD" yesterday.
